Chapter 108 Assassination of Hashirama
"Tobirama, you really are..."
When Hashirama discovered this, Tobirama, who had sobered up, was covering her face, at a loss. She clearly realized that she had done something irreversible.
But Hashirama didn't care at all, since she had originally planned to bring Tobirama along.
She just hadn't expected Tobirama to be more impulsive than she'd imagined, but in the end... it turned out pretty good.
"Sister...aren't you angry with me?"
Tobirama looked incredulous; she had even imagined that her sister would elbow her with a wooden doll.
Why would I blame you? To be honest... I really need you.
Hashirama felt somewhat ashamed when she mentioned this; when a numerical monster encountered a real numerical monster, she felt like a clown.
"I need... um..."
Tobirama immediately understood what Hashirama meant, turning his face away and trying hard not to blush, after all... he didn't want to think about it anymore!
In the end, Tobirama finally felt relieved. At least... he hadn't done anything wrong this time, everything was fine, and no one had been hurt.
Three days later, the final battle between Izuna and Madara ended.
Ningxia received a message from Ban, learning that Izuna had become increasingly extreme, and Ningxia finally couldn't sit still any longer.
Previously, he would be stopped by the three women even if he wanted to go, citing safety as the reason. But Izuna has started to act crazy, and if he doesn't go soon, something really bad will happen.
The two women, who had initially protested, were ultimately forced to agree to the matter due to the violent suppression in Ningxia.
Before leaving, Itama found Ningxia and asked him to participate as an elder in his wedding, along with Hashirama.
After all... his father had died at the very beginning of Konoha's founding, not from anger, but from years of battles that had drained him of his life force.
Therefore, he passed away peacefully in his clan's territory just as Konoha was beginning to break ground, which can be considered a good end.
Now that her father is gone and her mother has passed away long ago, Banjian thinks that her eldest sister is like a mother to her, and more importantly, her brother-in-law is reliable, so she wants Ningxia to officiate at her wedding.
"Um...no problem."
Ningxia originally wanted to refuse, since if things continued like this, her relationship with Tsunade would become even stranger, but she was too embarrassed to refuse Itama.
After all, he really treats me like an older brother, so I can't just not do such a small thing, right?
"Thank you, Brother Ningxia."
Itama sincerely said that he respected Ningxia from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would not have urged Ningxia to be with her sister.
"It's nothing, I'll definitely go when I get back."
Ningxia chuckled and then prepared to leave Konoha.
However, Madara's condition was not good, so Hashirama had to take Ningxia and Hikaru to find Madara, while Tobirama was left to guard Konoha!
Under Tobirama's resentful gaze, Hashirama happily embraced Ningxia on either side of Hikaru. Could this be considered... a honeymoon?
After leaving Konoha, Hashirama started to let himself go a bit, getting itchy fingers whenever he saw a casino, but then he remembered that Ningxia hated gambling addicts the most, and he didn't want to disappoint her.
The three of them traveled towards the Land of Earth. In the border region, while Hashirama was showing off his meat buns, a group of ninjas suddenly appeared in the distance.
"?"
Ningxia looked at the other person with surprise. Was they just passing by? Or...?
"Hello? Which ninja are you from? How have you been lately?"
Hashirama greeted the other person warmly, and she didn't mind other ninjas learning from her (actually Tobirama's) framework.
Rather, if ninjas from other countries did the same, it would mean that their children would never have to go to war again.
Seeing that there were other people on the other side, Hashirama thought about saying hello and chatting about the situation in their village, and that he could help them if needed.
But the people on the other side looked like they'd swallowed a dead rat; they exchanged bewildered glances, and finally, the leader threw a kunai at Hashirama, then turned and shouted, "Run!!!"
Hashirama caught the kunai, staring blankly at the departing ninjas. Wait, what is this? Are they giving me kunai as a wedding gift?
Ningxia was also surprised. This was too strange. It wasn't until all the ninjas had run away that he realized, could it be... that the other party wanted to assassinate Hashirama?
But even these few Karami, at their strongest, are only at the level of elite Jonin who can throw kunai. Even if their numbers doubled, they still couldn't withstand a single Tree World Advent.
"Assassination? Me?"
This was the first time in Hashirama's life that he had heard such a niche term; she was indeed kind and generous.
But she also possesses the arrogance of a strong person; if a powerful person were to attempt to assassinate her, she would certainly be happy to fight back.
If the opponent performs well, she wouldn't mind letting them leave and continuing the assassination attempt when they become stronger.
Anyway, the other party can never beat me.
But what does it mean to drop a kunai and run away?!
Hashirama was extremely annoyed, but since the group had all run away, she couldn't be bothered to chase after them.
However, Guang said that she had given everyone 8,000 spears, and if Ningxia needed them, she could use Tsukuyomi to bring them back.
"Um... let's take a look."
Ningxia then realized that the seemingly obedient and docile Light was actually a terrifying being that even Hashirama might not be able to defeat.
The Eight Thousand Spears can extract chakra by striking the seal. If it weren't for the Horse Talisman restraining the Eight Thousand Spears, it would be invincible in the ninja world.
"Um."
Guang controlled the group of people with his eyes closed, while Ningxia watched the girl gradually lose her naivety. Guang was very sensible and obedient.
Even though she knew about Hashirama's situation and was very angry, she did nothing, which was the most gratifying thing for Ningxia.
Under the control of the light, all the ninjas who had run away returned. Looking at the God of the Ninja World before them, the leader knelt down with a "plop".
"Spare me!!!"
"Stand up! No kneeling!"
Hashirama was furious. She disliked this behavior, and besides, she hadn't even intended to lay a hand on him.
Upon hearing Hashirama's words, the ninjas immediately stood up, looking at him with a mixture of awe and worry.
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, but compared to the ninja world's demons like Izuna who wreaked havoc everywhere, the god of the ninja world is still a bit less intimidating.
After all, Hashirama wouldn't run around and destroy other people's villages just to capture his sister.
Ningxia knew that Hashirama's aura was very strong, so she questioned them on her behalf about which village they were from and why they wanted to assassinate Hashirama.
The ninjas stammered, unsure whether they should speak or not.
Seeing this, Guang gave each of the ninjas a Moon Reading. Five minutes later, the ninjas tearfully told Ningxia that they had been forced to come by the higher-ups of Takigakure.
How much silver do they earn in a month? If they weren't forced to risk their lives, why would they do that?
Guang nodded in agreement, indicating that they were not lying.
Upon learning that they were only being forced, Hashirama didn't seem to mind and waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
The departing ninjas were overjoyed; they could boast about surviving the hands of the God of the Ninja World for the rest of their lives!
Just as they relaxed, black flames suddenly erupted from their left hands.
Except for the leader who cut off his arm without hesitation, everyone else was burned to ashes.
"What does it have to do with me that Hashirama told you to leave?"
After receiving Guang's affirmative answer, Ningxia muttered to himself that he didn't have Hashirama's magnanimous personality. If he dared to assassinate him, he would have to be prepared to be killed.
He didn't care whether they were forced into it or not; he even wanted to take a trip to Takigakure.
